Workshop »Lieder als Erinnerung«
A musical workshop with Yael Gat (vocals, trumpet) and Alex Stolze (violin, producer)
Trumpeter Yael Gat and violinist and music producer Alex Stolze view music as a living cultural memory. In their workshop, they combine aspects of Jewish cultural heritage with the vitality of contemporary artistic creation. Together with the participants, they explore the interplay between historical narratives, linguistic rhythms, and musical practice. Songs that tell stories of resistance become vessels of memory that can be experienced today through singing and making music together. Can this process also help us explore possibilities for future coexistence?
The number of participants is limited. No prior musical experience is required.
Alex Stolze is a German-Jewish violinist, composer, and producer whose musical work blends modern classical and electronica. He became known as a member of the electro-pop trio Bodi Bill and the avant-garde group Dictaphone. As a solo artist, he explores Jewish philosophy, history, and identity in depth. He is also regularly involved in cultural education initiatives, including with Dagesh and the Ethnological Museum in Berlin.
Yael Gat is a musician and educator. She was born in Haifa and began playing the trumpet at age 11. She studied at the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music in Tel Aviv and toured Brazil, the United States, and Switzerland with the school’s orchestra under Zubin Mehta. Driven by a longing for the Jewish music of her childhood, she founded the ensemble Folkadu in 2016, with which she performs a wide repertoire of Jewish folk songs in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino throughout Germany.
The workshop is part of the themed day »GEMEINSAM – GEGENWART – GEDENKEN« (TOGETHER – PRESENT – REMEMBRANCE) -> Click here for an overview of the themed day at the festival center
